Note that this list is posted almost two days before the first match, so you probably want to make sure your pick hasn't withdrawn since this list was posted. If you want to pick a Lucky Loser that is filling in for a withdraw, feel free to enter their name. I will be checking the names of the picks from the results. So if a player wins a match, I won't care if they are actually on this list or not.

You are correct. Thanks for noticing that. I have corrected the match listing.
I have also PM'ed all of the people who made Day 2 picks. Hopefully, the will see the PM and change their picks. However, if they do not change their picks to a Day 1 match, they will have to make a second Day 2 pick and survive both Day 2 matches.

Again, thanks for bringing this to my attention.
